Our mood board was inspired by the “old hongkong” aesthetic on pinterest and a city shoot.

We did this one in Taiwan
Photog: Nigel Llamas

more of a candid shoot, and our photog just followed us a round and tinuturo nya lang kung saan maganda mag shoot and bahala na kami anong gagawin namin hehe. He also planned the whole route so wala kaming iisipin talaga kundi mag pa- picture 😊

super happy talaga ako with the photos pakiramdam ko nasa movie kami 😆

Hindi ko alam kung familiar kayo sa Capiz shells.

It's a part of the Philippine History

Yun yung manipis na shell aka windowpane oyster dito satin. Yung parang bintana noong unang panahon, around Spanish era na ginagamit sa simbahan, sa lumang bahay kasi kahit nakasara, nakakapasok pa rin yung liwanag.

Ngayon, yun na yung ginagawa namin araw-araw.

We have a workshop in Bataan, kami mismo yung gumagawa ng mga jewelry box, chandeliers, lamp shades at iba pang mga personalized items pang giveaways, weddings, events or more

Then, I decided to setup yung online store this year.

Yung tito ko rin pala yung nag-inspire sakin na simulan. Siya mismo yung gumagawa kasama yung master artisans nya, he's been in the exporting before sa Capiz din back in 1980's. Siya rin yung nagturo sakin kung paano gumawa, first I made was a Bahay Kubo made from capiz shells

Yung mga kamay niya, kabisado na yung bawat hiwa, bawat dikit, bawat polish. Ngayon, kasama na niya yung mga bagong tina-train nya. Mahirap sa una pero kita mo na yung pasensya at yung pag-iingat. Minsan inaabot ng ilang araw bago matapos ang isang piraso. Depende sa hirap ng design. Minsan mas matagal. Hindi minamadali because we want it to be always quality.

Pero here's the reality and sabi ng tito ko noon, "walang yumayaman sa pagca-capiz" and "halos lahat ng makikita mong magca-capiz mahirap". I observed and yun nga rin yung napansin ko, except dun sa mga dating kasama sa mga capiz exporters kaso matatanda na sila and unti-unti nang nawawala or umoonti yung gumagawa ng mga capiz crafts. And that's just one of the reasons why I decided to start this small business, I aim to revive this type of craft and hopefully in the future we can start exporting again. This means it will enable us to give more jobs, preserve the unique craftsmanship and yung pakiramdam na makapagbigay ka ng luxury-feel sa mga tao without them spending too much and yung maipapamana pa nila yung arts and craft sa next generation, then they will ask "Saan 'to gawa?"

Just like a Capiz shell, it's beauty never fades.

Ayun lang naman, skl. Haha. If you're curious, you can search us- Casa Capiz PH on IG/FB, we are also on shapi na rin para mas accessible nationwide

Hii, brides-to-be! 🤍

Lately, super na-eenjoy ko mag-explore ng digital watercolors, especially floral illustrations and hand-lettered calligraphy. I figured both are useful for creating custom wedding monograms like in the first picture, so I decided to apply what I learned so far and open a few slots!

Since this is a new style I'm building my portfolio in, I'm offering a special introductory rate for my first few couples. 💍 I can also make more classic-leaning style if florals aren't your style (see third pic)

If you're interested, comment your initials below, and I'll send you a DM with the details. I'd love to create something uniquely yours for your big day! 🤍

EDIT: Reddit is limiting whom I can send a message to, so those who would send a DM to me would be entertained first. Thank you everyone! <3

Thank you, CA 🤍

Hi! I’m here again. I tried to fit new set of gowns. Can you help me again choose my gown? Thank you so much for all of your comments. Much appreciated 🤍

Saw this on Facebook. What are your thoughts on hiring a filmmaker instead of a videographer? It looks fun and lively. I'm considering this for my upcoming wedding.

Yung 3rd pic di ko lang po sya pinatapos ipatali saliko kaya di ganon kalapat sa katawan ko.
